PrODagatiOn of Shad

A statement prepared from the an
nual report of the fish commissioner
shows by river basins the following dis
tributions Of shad during the past sea-
son: Penobscot river, 100000; Kenne-
bee river, 100000; tributaries of Nara
gansett bay, 125,OOO; Hudson river, L.
O79,OOO; tributaries of Delaware bay, s.
100000; tributaries Of Chesapeake bay,
81, $4,000; south Atlantic coast, 800, 900:
tributaries Of the Gulf OF Mexico, 7,O48,-
600; tributaries Of Albermarle sound,
1902 900; inland waters, 1Ol, ,2CO; total
95, ,421 600. This number is greatly in
excess of the output of any previous
year. The production has been attend
ed by no increase Of expenses, reeults
which are due to added experience and
improved methods in Matching. Some
observations as to survival Of shad put
in our waters show 20 per cent. reached
two to three inches in siza If only per
cent. OF all the shad that have been
planted in the Chesapeake and it's tribu-
taries, for example, the present season,
should survive and attain maturity,
there will be restored to our waters by
artificial propagation fully as many ma
tured shad as have been taken from
them this season. Arrangements have
been made by the commission to secure
complete statistics of the shad catch
along the entire coast for the present
year. 1t is also proposed to establish
number of distributing and collection
stations in various suitable localities,
each having in addition to some special
work for which its region is adapted,
the general duty of collecting eggs of
Indigenous species for shipment to
other stations and of Matching eggs re-
ceived from others and distributing the
young to suitable waters in it's own
neighborhood. The advantage as re-

nous. It is in contemplation to estal-
lish stations as follows: One on the
Hudson, with especial view of stocking
the basin of that stream with salmon
trout; one in northern Alabama, or
northern Georgia for rearing trout and
other fish adapted to that latitude, and
distributing them to the south Atlantic
and Gulf states; one at Weldon, North
Carolina, to breed rock fish; one on the
south slope of the Ozark mountains to
serve in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas and
Missouri; one in Colorado to gather
eggs of the Rocky mountain trout and
supply the mountain region with the
eastern species, and one on the Column
bia for bleeding California salmon and
cod. Congress has already made the
necessary appropriations for the CO.
lumbia river station. Col Mcdonald
will select sites for others, the actual
settlement of which will Of course
await the action of congress.

Are They Mummified Aztecs:
San Francisco Special: There IS a
stir In scientific circles over the advent
of five mummified Aztecs supposed to
have been buried six hundred years. The
group comprises two men, two women
and child. They were discovered some
months ago by two miners, Dasty and
Morris, in Theoretically sealed cave in
the canyon of the Gila river, on the boun-
Diary line between Arizona and New
Mexico. The miners were prospecting
and Doticed a place closed by human
hands. They questioned the Indians,
who declined to give any information and
were opposed to any exploration.
Watching their chances the prospect
Ors removed the Obstructinos to the cave
Huge boulders, bound by excellent ce-
ment, had to be pried out of place. A
search for treasures was unsuccessful, but
twenty feet from the mouth of the cave
they found an Aztec mummy in a sitting
posture, the legs bent up--a custom of
the race The hands were folded over
the breast in the posture of alteration,
facing towards the east. A further search
revealed other bodies. A mother and
child were nesting in loving embrace.
The bodies were removed to this city.
They are in excellent preservation, not
disemboweled, and were evidently mumi-
fed naturally The SKIN is tanned. The
women retain their long, flowing silken
hair. Measurements by DR.. Paola de
Vecchi, of Turin University, and DR.. c.
NJ Richter, of Berlin, made yesterday
conform to the historical descriptions of
the Aztecs, and the general appearance
and mode of burial, and the surroundings
identify the mummies with the ancient
race. The bodies were covered with
highly colorcd clothes, which crumbled
on exposure. Three kinds were saved,
two of coarse material, and one deep
blue, woven in diamond shapes. No i'm

The tropical orchids are brilliant in
coloring, fantastic in shape and often of
delicious perfume, especially in the morn
ing while the night dews are upon them.
Many OF them lose all perfume after
midday till the following morning. So
excessively droll are many of them in
shape that they seem sentient, and of all
blossoms the most like human beings.
There is the frog orchid. the baby orchid,
the Holy Ghost orchid; those resembling
bugs and beetles, birds and butterflies.
Many varieties are SO exquisite in color
and form that it would seem as though
fairies might hide in their pockets, or
pouches, as they are called, or that the
bees might store their sweets in such
dainty, velvet lined cells. The leaves are
rarely pretty or graceful in form, the
whole beauty of the plant eliminating in
the flower. All orchids have a season of
resting, or recuperation, of three months.
This unlovely period of their existence
corresponds to the rainy season in tropical
chimes, when, if in blossom, the rain tor
rents would destroy the flower.-Brook-
lyn Eagle.

Paris matrimonial agencies are of three
kinds: First come those of which the
customers and agents are high officials,
superior officers on half pay and titled
personages. Then there are the estab-
lishments ~patronized by tradespeople, lean
~annuitants, as Charles Lamb called per-
sons who received, like himself, their
small half yearly dividends in Thread
needle street, minor employees and poor
officers. Finally there are the suspected
firms by which unsophisticated bachelors
are presented to dashing young persons
like Mile. Leal, and then fleeced like
lambs. The bona fide agencies are much
in vogue, and a great impetus has been
given to their trade since the law has
sanctioned divorces, and also since the
bad state of business has caused men t,
.iavc. recourse to all sorts of speculative
means for the purpose Of putting money
IN their purses.-Chicago Tribune.

A Demand for Moedsnr.r..

/ was told o story of a down casters"
mode Of creating a demand for o supply
which, amid all the i~ngenuities Of modern
commerce., may fairly claim originality.
One OF the class called a hickory dealer"
or seller of woodenware, came down to
the south in the summer time with a well
laden wagon, but was destined to en-
counter a sweeping opposition in the
yellow fever, which Ind commenced bust
ness about a week previous In such a way
that the only woodenware in requisition
wa a coffin. The ravages of the plague
were at this time so dreadful that it will be
supposed there was n general tendency to
try the most desperate and absurd eXpedi-
ents to avert it, though many such proved
but pioneers TO its progress. This the
peddler was aware of, SO resolved, as re
garded his own ~fortrae, to extract good
from evil. Dressing himself as respect
ably us possible, he mounted his horse and
rode up to q printing office In Williams
burg, where, under an assumed name,
he had 100 bills struck of to this effect:
wANTED-Immediately, woodenware in any
quantity, for the fever hospital In Philadelphia,
such being found not to convey the infection. BY
order of the board of health. SETH ADAMS. N. u.
All persons cautioned how they use crockery,
which is the cause OF the plague to thousands.
Fifty of these placards he sent his boy
to stick round the streets of a village lying
in his road where the fever had begun to
show itself. A discovery so important,
so simple, and apparently in such close
connection with a remedy, created an in
slant sensation. The doom Of crockery
was pronounced. Jugs, bowls, basins,
teapots and other utensils most esteemed
or necessary were hurled out of the win
dows in showers. No grandmother's gift,
no ancestors relic, survived this fall Of
china; the streets soon looked like u pot
terry after an earthquake. About noon,
when the work Of destruction was at its
height, a wagon made its way into the
village with a man vociferating with all
the power of his lungs: "Woodenwarel'
His arrival was hailed as a godsend; a
crowd collected around him as to a magi-
clan who brought n talismnn, and In less
thar W. hours his plague ayerting plat
tiers were all sold at eXorbitant prices

Remarkable accuracy is low attained
by engineers in cutting tunnels through
mountains, working from both ends.
Thus at the Musconetcong tunnel, of the
Lehigh Valley railroad, the alignment
tested to 0.04 foot, or less than one-half
inch. This accuracy is, to large extent,
a development OF recent years. In the
annals of the state of Pennsylvania it is
mentioned as a remarkable specimen of
accurate leveling hat in a circle of twelve
miles that was leveled the error was only
liz feet; fifty years afterward, or in 1878.
engineers engaged in running a line OF
levels between the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays, for the purpose of determin-
ing the feasibility of a ship canal, tested
some new leveling instruments furnished
by the government; a line Of test levels
being run over ten miles, the difference
of level on the closing bench mark was
only zoos foot.-New York Sun.

The rouse" bngle, as a rule, Is sound,
ed about 4 n. M, and shortly afteryyg5Vi
the sleepy officer is awakened by his ser
want bearing a lamp in one hand, and a
cup Of tea or cocoa in the other. AT the
time of year when regiments in India
are marching in course of relief, it is bit
ter cold, and dressing is not an inspiriting
process. About 4:30 you issue shivering
from your tent and proceed to where the
men of your company are loading ele-
plants. camels, mules or pack bullocks
with their camp equipage and kits. The
scene is n busy and picturesque one, for
all the light at this early hour is derived
from torches and blazing fires, and the
confusion seems indefinite. AT about
1850 o'clock, however, the loading is
completed; the ''fall in" is sounded; and
pmnctually at s o'clock away goes the
regiment as merrily as the darkness and
the occasional eccentricities of the road
will allow.
After the first half hour a short halt is
called; and thenceforward halts of five
minutes every half hour, not including
the long coffee halt, " usually at about
six miles from the last camp. During
the coffee halt every one has coffee or tea
and biscuits, the day having by this time
broken, and when once more the regi-
ment moves off the band strikes up, and
the brass instruments take turn about
with the drums and flies until the next
camp is reached. Here the regiment
finds the camp already marked out by
the camp color party sent on the night
before for that purpose. In a very short
time the camp is fully pitched; a general
toilet follows, and a most welcome break
fast; and then, possibly, some shooting,
lunch, a stroll, an early dinner in the
big mess tent, a chat round a camp fire,
and bed. Not a very exciting existence,
but a very sociable and eminently healthy
one.-Chambers' journal.

I.ussla's Petroleum Production.

Russian petroleum threatens to take
the place of the American article in Euro
pean markets, owing to its extreme cheap
ness. The Russian wells yield immense
quantities of oil, the great Drooia foun-
tain having spouted 1900 0 tons, or
55, 900, 900 of gallons, before it WA
capped. This oil was worth almost a
Ct, 900, 900, but at Baku most of it was
lost for want Of storage accommodation.
The cost Of boring the well was about
1900. Last year the production of
crude petroleum at Baku exceeded
420, 600, 900 gallons, or 10000, 900 bar
rels. 1t could as easily have been ten or
twenty times that amount, as there is
practically no limit to the supply, mill.
ions of gallons running away in waste
into the Caspian sea for want of buyers.
At Baku 100 firms have refineries,
which last year produced nearly $780,
600. 900 gallons of refined petroleum.
Since 1878 Russia has invested remu-
%neratively over Ct, 000, 900 in oil steam
ers for the Caspian sea. In 1870 there
was only n steamer in the sea; to-day
there are 1000. The refineries keep so
much ahead of the developing transport
that the best refined petroleum or lamp
oil is sold at three farthings a gal
lon at Baku. AT London the
wholesale price of the American
article is about sixpence per gallon.
The exports from Baku along the Batoum
railway in 1885 comprised 81, 600, 900
gallons refined petroleum, 1890, 224 gal
Ions %lubricating oil and 1000, 900 gallons
of crude oil. Batoum is about the same
distance from London as is New York

Death Rate of New York.

Horace Greeley used to say that New
York city was the most corruptly,
wastefully and inefficiently governed of
any twenty square miles of this earth's
surface. Things are much better now,
but bad enough yet. By its geology and
location this should be among the health
lest cities in the world; the natural drain
age is splendid, the tide sweeps a strong
current by both shores twice a day, and
the iodized sea air blows through every
street and alley all night. Yet this is
almost, if not quite, the sickliest city in
the world. Calcutta is the only large
place with a larger death rate, and
cholera is there the year round. New
Orleans occasionally has a larger death
rate, but never of whites alone. Mobile.
of both white and black, shows a much
lower mortality. In Chicago and Cincin-
natl the deaths per 1000 average but 20
to the 80 in New York.
Even in the terrible yellow fever years
the mortality of the gulf cities rarely
equals that of this city. The cause is in
M word-flth. Close as they are, there
Isl very noticeable difference between the
air of New York and that of Brooklyn.
And it is believed, with good reason, that
the proportion here is moderated from
defective statistics. In short, including
the deaths of children, we are forced to
admit that the average life of mar here is
shorter than in the malarious regions of
the country, shorter than on the hot mud
banks of Guiana or in the fever breeding
jungles of Hindoostan.-J. III. Beadle in
Rockville Tribune.
